Data Selection Parameters
Use these parameters to limit the scope of the data in the report. IPCS produces a report for each data selection parameter. If you omit a data selection parameter, the default is PROCESS.
COMMUNICATIONS

Specifies that communication services information appears in the report.

FILE

Specifies that file systems information appears in the report.

IPC

Specifies that the report is to contain information about interprocess communication for shared memory, message queues, and semaphores.

PROCESS

Specifies that information about all dubbed processes appears in the report. The report includes information about serialization, signaling, and, if the DETAIL parameter is also specified, open files.

STORAGE

Specifies that storage services information appears in the report.
Report Type Parameters
Use these parameters to select the type of report. If you omit a report type parameter, the default is SUMMARY.
DETAIL

Requests the detail report, which includes detailed information about the data area selected.

EXCEPTION

Requests the exception report, which contains exceptional or unusual conditions for the data area selected. The exception report contains diagnostic information for IBM® use.

SUMMARY

Requests a summary report for the data area selected.
Address Space Selection Parameters
Use these parameters to obtain data from particular address spaces, which you specify by their address space identifiers (ASIDs) or by the TSO/E user IDs associated with the address space.
ASIDLIST(asidlist)

Specifies a list of ASIDs for the address spaces for which you want IPCS to process the requested data.
The asidlist can be a single ASID, a range of ASIDs, or a list of noncontiguous ASIDs, When you specify a range, separate the first and last ASIDs in the range with a colon. When you specify a list, separate the list members with commas.

An ASID can be 1 through 65535. An ASID can be expressed in the notation X'nnn', F‘nnn’, or B'nnn'. An unqualified number is assumed to be fixed.

USERLIST(userlist)
Specifies a list of TSO/E user IDs associated with the address spaces for which you want IPCS to process the requested data. The userlist can be a single user ID or a list of user IDs. When you specify a list, separate the list members with commas. For example:
```
USERLIST(userid)

USERLIST(userid,userid...,userid)
```
Return Codes
See Standard subcommand return codes for a description of the return codes produced by the OMVSDATA subcommand.
